New Tolkien Book Released 'The Children of Hurin'

Zoolander writes "Christopher Tolkien has completed the last book of J.R.R. Tolkien from notes left from his father." The ultimate question is how much of a quality difference will there be; for instance the difference between Dune and Dune: House Atriedes is a pretty big gap. But in my experience, Christopher Tolkien has always taken a good, cautious approach when it comes to his father's work so here's to hoping.

    "Ironically, both Middle Earth and Dune are epic tales of the original forefathers of our times (Dune less obviously, sorry for the spoiler)." You motherfucker if i could reach through the internet and kill, you I would. People say it is a spoiler before they fucking ruin things you fucking asshole. There are conventions for a reason. I haven't finished Dune. Thanks for possibly ruining one of the greatest science fiction epics ever ruined you assfucker. You could have even left out everything in the fucking parenthesis and it might not have been obvious, it wasn't obvious until you told me. You've ruined the complexity of a great work. Man. This is easily the most angry I've been at some asshole over the internet. Holy Shit, you sir, are a jerk.
